Kalmar secures follow-up order from Crowley for top loaders and reachstackers
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
CARGOTEC CORPORATION, PRESS RELEASE, 11 AUGUST 2016 AT 10 AM (EEST)
Kalmar, part of Cargotec, has received orders for seven top loaders from Crowley
Liner Services for operation in Jacksonville and Port Everglades, Florida, and
eight reachstackers from Crowley Puerto Rico Services for operation in San Juan,
Puerto Rico. The orders were booked in Cargotec's 2016 second quarter order
intake, with delivery taking place during the first quarter of 2017.
Crowley is investing heavily in new vessels, terminal upgrades, and terminal
operating systems to facilitate growth. Part of that investment includes
upgrading its container handling fleet as the company switches to grounded
operations. Three of the Kalmar top loaders and all of the reachstackers will
have Wide Twistlock Position (WTP) spreaders, and all units will be delivered
with Kalmar SmartFleet remote monitoring solution to improve operational
performance.
Vincent Hruska, Sales Manager, Kalmar Counterbalanced Equipment, says: "The
order is a follow up to the five Kalmar machines delivered to Crowley in 2015
and demonstrates their confidence in Kalmar's product reliability, Tier 3
engines, and support network. In 2015 Kalmar sold a record number of top loaders
in North America and this deal continues that trend."
Kalmar DCF410 CSG top loaders can handle loads of up to 41 tonnes while DRG450-
60S5 Reachstackers manage loads up to 45 tonnes. Both units combine superior
lifting performance with easy maintenance and excellent reliability. Kalmar
SmartFleet is a solution for remote monitoring and reporting that enables more
effective management of container handling operations while decreasing downtime
and improving safety at the terminal.
